THE CHALLENGE
Meeting new business demands
As the producer of many of Australia’s most renowned
media titles — including The Australian Women’s Weekly,
Woman’s Day, Harper’s BAZAAR, ELLE, Australian
Gourmet Traveller and real living — Bauer Media has long
been committed to creating award-winning content. When
it was acquired two years ago, the company identified
some gaps in its processes, which brought to light a
need for greater visibility into project data and better file
accessibility for its distributed workforce.
One of the biggest changes the company had to tackle was
a growing need to move away from traditional file-sharing
methods like network drives, email, and paper printouts.
According to Mobility Strategist Kathryn King, “The need
to support our employees’ ability to work remotely and
on the go was increasing as our business was changing.
We needed a solution that allowed us to share files with
equally strong levels of security and usability.”
THE SOLUTION
Redefining production workflows
In Dropbox Business, Bauer Media found a platform that
keeps everyone on the same page — no matter where they
work. Collaborative processes that used to require stacks of
paper or CD copies now take place via shared folders. As
King explains, “Dropbox Business has allowed us to redefine
many content workflows and how we collaborate. The
ability to make comments within a file, and tag other team
members in a document is amazing; it’s definitely a next-
level collaboration tool for us.”

To ensure files are kept safe during collaborative processes,
Bauer Media relies on OKTA for Active Directory (AD)
integration and single sign-on. “We just add people to an
AD group and OKTA starts the process, so it’s very simple,”
King says.
According to King, the companywide reaction to Dropbox
Business has been “fantastic.” She attributes the successful
adoption primarily to ease of use, adding, “People want it —
they come to us for it, which is a change. It’s been the easiest
product to roll out here.”
THE RESULTS
Faster production, better end products
With Dropbox Business continuing to release new
features, like the Dropbox badge, Bauer Media employees
continue to streamline workflows and find opportunities
for efficiency gains. Projects move at a faster pace than
ever before and the company continues to evolve how it
works. As King states, “It matches where the company is
now — which is dedicated to providing that agility in the
new digital world.”
Customer use cases How Dropbox Business helps
Mobility
No matter where employees are located, they can pull up files remotely from any device,
including mobile phones, to keep projects moving.
Collaboration
Teams use commenting to save time and keep everyone’s input consolidated and easy to
follow, making collaboration easier.
Control
IT uses security features such as single sign-on and mobile passwords to protect data, and
admin controls provide needed visibility and audit trails.
“Every day, a huge part of what I’m doing involves Dropbox Business.
It has impacted the way I’m developing my mobile strategy, and
really, it is changing the way we work.”
